[quote=Anonymous]another Hardy parent  here..... there aren't any 'gifted' classes.  The school believes all the kids are 'gifted' in the sense that they can all learn and can all be exposed to enrichment opportunities. The SEM program is about the Student Enrichment Model which is different than a GATE program.  It is an opportunity for all the kids to find things they are interested in, have an affinity for and give them 'extra' opportunities in some of those areas.  Each student does the online Renzuli process where they are asked questions and it shows up their strengths/affinities. From that questionnaire students are asked if they want to participate in certain 'extras'.  My child is interested in business and entrepreneurship. She's helping to run a farmer's market at the school on Wednesday's. The students are learning about business models and how to think about profits etc.  Students do some activities during the school day (lunch and are pulled from other classes) and some after school.  There are book clubs, rocketry clubs/classes etc..  Each student 6-8 will have the opportunity to do something each year but not necessarily for the entire year.  Does that help?[/quote]
